Holding Water: Water Terms Used Within the Commercial Property Policy
[Editor's Note: Based on reader feedback, we've wanted to cover more issues regarding insurance as contained and referred to in commercial leases.

Water issues are often confusing and involve multiple undefined terms such as plumbing, sewer, drain, overflow, or discharge. This article reviews how the terms are applied in the commercial property policy.

However, just defining the terms isn't enough to fully understand the coverage. How the terms are used within the policy, and the surrounding language including exclusions and exceptions, is critical to determining whether a given loss will be covered. This article reviews the terms as found within the ISO CP 10 30 Causes of Loss Special Form, and explains what that means for coverage.
